Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Now that the matter has been resolved, let's adjourn the meeting." Sha Zhu stood up and said.

"Wait a minute..." Yan Bugui said hurriedly, "Aren't we holding this meeting to raise funds? How come we are adjourning without a single cent of donation?"

"Yes." Liu Haizhong also slapped his head and said, "This is not right. Usually when everyone has something to do, I, Old Liu, am never stingy... Now that something has happened in our family, how can you just stand by and watch?"

"No, Second Uncle, Third Uncle... Isn't this matter already resolved?" Xu Damao said unhappily, "You have asked someone to write an IOU. The medical expenses were also paid by Liu Guangqi himself. If you raise funds at this time, how will the money be calculated? Will it be for you or Liu Guangqi?"

"Xu Damao is right. This money can't be so unclear."

"That's right. They asked their own sons to write IOUs. How can this money fall into their hands?"

"No, at least not now."

...

Everyone started to make a fuss, making Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui look extremely ugly.

Xu Damao, this bastard, they haven't bothered him yet, but he dares to incite the masses? Of course, these people in the yard are not good people either, they are just following the trend.

"Ahem..." Yi Zhonghai coughed twice and said seriously, "If that's the case, let's wait until those guys are discharged from the hospital. If they donate now, it will be difficult to settle the bill later."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui knew that it was impossible to ask them to pay today.

Two days later, Saturday.

Early morning.

Everyone in the west wing yard was sleeping, and suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Who is it? It's the weekend, right?" He Yushui cursed.

After a busy week, they can only rest for two days on weekends.

Why are these people so restless?

After a while of silence outside the door, Sha Zhu's voice suddenly came.

"He Yushui, how can you talk like that?"

"Why do you care how I talk? What do you want to do so early in the morning?" He Yushui said unwillingly.

"Yushui, we are not looking for you, we are looking for Lin Shaowen." Zhang Wan said helplessly, "Today is the weekend, didn't you promise to go to pick up Yan Jiecheng's bride?"

To pick up the bride?

He Yushui was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to the bedroom and woke up Lin Shaowen.

"Brother Lin, get up quickly, the third uncle wants you to pick up the bride."

"Ah? Yan Jiecheng is in such a state, he still wants to pick up the bride?" Qin Huairu exclaimed.

"I don't know, that's what they said." He Yushui said helplessly, "and Shazhu and Xu Damao are all here..."

"Okay, then get up."

Lin Shaowen sighed and walked to the bathroom.

Qin Huairu and others also quickly began to wash their clothes. If Yan Jiecheng got married today, he would definitely have a banquet in the yard.

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Shaowen opened the gate of the west wing.

A group of people were looking at him helplessly, but no one dared to say anything... After all, he was asking for help from others. With Lin Shaowen's temper, it would be terrible if he quit.

"Uncle, thank you for your help."

Yan Bugui rarely took out a cigarette and gave one to Lin Shaowen.

Then he glanced at Xu Damao and the others and put the cigarette away calmly.

"Old Yan, that's not right." Lin Shaowen frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the bride would be picked up on Sunday? Today is only Saturday... What's going on with you?"

"It was originally scheduled for Saturday, but my kid was so greedy that he actually wanted to help Su Xiu move. Do you think he can do this when he is about to get married?" Yan Bugui sighed.

"Then I made an appointment with Su Xiu to help her move this Saturday." Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Uncle, when can we move? Your nephew is getting married today." Auntie advised, "How about this... let's get married today, and then help her move tomorrow. We will also go to help."

"Forget it."

Lin Shaowen shook his head and walked to the backyard and knocked on Zhang Xiaoyu's door.

"What for?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said unhappily, "Knocking on the door on this weekend, is there something wrong with you?"

As soon as she said this, Yan Bugui and others' faces immediately turned the color of pig liver.

Although it was not a veiled attack, it was also a case of hitting the person in the face.

"Don't be angry." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "You are our leader after all. Su Xiu is moving today, and I have to help Yan Jiecheng pick up the bride. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for you?"

"I knew you had no good intentions." Zhang Xiaoyu sighed, "Okay, you are my old leader, can you not give me face? I will do it, but you have to lend me Qin Jingru, otherwise I can't handle it alone."

"No problem, it's better to call all the women in the yard." Lin Shaowen laughedsaid, "You guys don't have anything to do anyway, why don't you go shopping in the department store together later."

"That's right." Zhang Xiaoyu thought, "It's winter now, I have to buy a few pairs of shoes to wear...Okay, I'll ask them out."

After hearing her words, Yan Bugui and others were all silent.

These women are really arrogant.

Others can't even get enough food, but they can feed the whole family, and their salary is very high. Who can they complain to?

Zhang Wan looked even more depressed.

There are many wives and girls in the yard, but almost no one will ask her out. She also wants to play with them, but they don't pay any attention to her.

The yard.

Yan Jiecheng was sitting on a stool at this time. Although he was wearing a half-new and half-old clothes, the smell of medicine on his body and the exposed gauze showed that he was really injured.

After seeing Lin Shaowen coming, he immediately became excited, "Uncle..."

"Don't get up." Lin Shaowen held his hand and sighed, "You are so injured, and you still don't forget to marry a wife... You really want your wife to die."

Puff!

The yard was full of laughter for most of the month.

"Uncle, I don't want to go either." Yan Jiecheng said with a bitter face, "But my father-in-law and mother-in-law don't agree... They said that they have chosen a good day, and if they don't go to pick the person up, it will be invalid."

"Tsk, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are not easy to deal with." Lin Shaowen said in surprise.

"That's right." Yan Jiecheng was about to cry, "Originally, it was agreed that the betrothal gift was 20 yuan, but they said that I was so seriously injured, and I don't know if it will affect fertility... I must add another 20 yuan."

"Wow."

The whole yard was in an uproar.

Is this a marriage or a business? Is it okay to increase the price temporarily?

"Old Yan, can you agree to this?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise.

The peanuts in the Yan family are sold by the piece, and they have to add a gift to the agreed deal. How can they tolerate this?

"It's okay." Yan Bugui said with a smile, "There's no rush... Wait until she gets married, your third aunt will have plenty of ways to teach her."

...

Lin Shaowen was silent when he heard this.

He prayed deeply for Yan Jiecheng's future daughter-in-law, hoping that she would be a tough one... Otherwise, if she falls into the hands of the third aunt, how can she be good?
